Carl Pei, the former co-founder of OnePlus, had been involved in building a startup since leaving the company. Nothing (Carl’s startup) has stated that its first product, the Ear 1 Earbuds, will be unveiled on July 27th, 2021. As Nothing previously noted that it aims to introduce a variety of devices across multiple sectors, including smart home devices, with the Ear 1 earbuds being the first in an ecosystem of their products. The company believes that the earphones market will provide a fertile backdrop as they develop their expertise and plan to explore new product categories as an area of rapid growth.
Carl Pei has posted a picture that appears to be a teaser for the earbuds’ design. The company’s goal is to break down boundaries between humans and technology, resulting in a digital future that looks, lives, and feels like nothing else.
Nothing ear (1), which combines the raw beauty of technology with a distinctive transparent finish, has claimed to provide a pure sound experience and will be available this summer in Selfridges London via Smartech and on Selfridges.com.
